Agent Onboarding
Read project context before implementation.
Scope
- In scope: onboarding for existing projects in
orst and context assembly.
- Out of scope: creating new project scaffolds (use [[skills/project-bootstrap/SKILL]]).
Trigger Guidance
- Trigger when user asks to onboard, orient, or get started in a project.
- Trigger when a new agent needs project context before implementation.
Quick start
- Confirm target project slug under
projects/<project>/.
- Read project entry notes.
- Confirm onboarding is complete and wait for the next task.
Workflow
- Read project entry notes:
projects/<project>/Project Overview.md
projects/<project>/status/Current State.md
projects/<project>/knowledge/
projects/<project>/workflows/Agent Onboarding.md
- Read vault guardrails:
- Confirm scope boundaries.
Tool map
- Discover and scope:
obsidian_search_notes, obsidian_list_notes, obsidian_list_folders
- Read context:
obsidian_read_note, obsidian_get_note_metadata
Completion Contract
- Read the onboarding sources and build internal context.
- Do not propose tasks or plans unless explicitly asked.
Guardrails
- Keep onboarding output project-scoped.
- Edit one project unless user approval is explicit for cross-project work.
